Not counting hipsters and sentimentalists, photographers are roughly divided into 2.5 respective groups – pros, amateurs, and everything in between. Fujifilm's latest offering from its X-series is aimed firmly at the first group but its gorgeous retro styling, usability and stunning picture quality...

As the best holidays-for-grown-ups month dawns, which would be my ideal new serious camera to take on a trip (long airplane rides being the absolute best time to read and ingest those bulky-but-essential instruction manuals)?

Fujifilm X-Pro1 camera review
This brings me to my original question; is this camera for the beginner, the hobbyist that wants to get serious about photography or the professional? At R17,999.00 for the body alone, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 is priced out of reach of most amateur photographers, and indeed many hobbyists will baulk at...

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 digital interchangeable lens camera features a 16.3 megapixel Fuji X-Trans CMOS image sensor coupled to the latest Fujifilm processor, a superb dynamic range, excellent high ISO noise performance, professional quality controls and handling, extremely accurate autofocus,
Pros:
- What a camera
- Despite my whining above about the v1 firmware autofocus speed, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 has
Cons:
- The SD card slot adjacent to the battery compartment on the bottom of the camera is awkward to access because the slot door only opens 90 degrees
- We had to figure out a kind of two-finger grip on the sides of the SD card to help line it up for insertion, and a perfectly perpendicular push & release...

Pros:
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Retro Styling
- Simple Controls
Cons:
- Some Bits Are Flimsy

If you're serious about photography though, and you're looking for a new rig, I'd recommend this in a heartbeat. It's a sturdy, well-built camera that holds its own with the big boys and delivers near flawless images almost every time, and it looks great to boot!
Pros:
- Its hybrid viewfinder and fresh stills-centric setup
- together with its excellent image quality and almost unmatched styling.
Cons:
- The biggest obstacle is selecting the right lens at the right time
- If you're too slow changing a lens, or you initially choose the wrong one, you may just miss that perfect moment in time and lose an epic shot

So I have used several compact cameras in the past, NEX 5/7, OMD EM-5, Olympus Pens and maybe a few I have forgot about. They all seem to have some flaw or quirk I just never could get past. With the NEX series was the lens size. The high end lenses were just to big or lagged in focus.
Pros:
- Ergonomics
- awesome lenses
- improved auto focus
- ease of use in manual and very good image quality
Cons:
- Easy to knock it in the on position when putting it away draining battery, Exposure compensation easily changed
- lack of a way for a wireless shutter or time lapse

Just Right
This device easier to grasp the camera and easier to get those shots I want. There is less tendency to accidently thumb the buttons on the right side of the camera.
Pros:
- It fits and does the job
Cons:
- Unfortunately one has to take the grip off the get to the battery
- I sue the Joby camera sling and it sit almost on the attachment screw of the grip
